Something I haven't seen mentioned by people is how horrible WoWs patcher was. If you couldn't get the game fully patched, you couldn't play. It took FOREVER! I swear, it was like one byte per hour. Some of that was because the game rubbed windows security the wrong way, but even after you found out how to change settings around the game still patched super slow. I had a cable internet connection that was the best available at the time, the problem wasn't on my end. It was night after night after night. Took months before the game patched smoothly & relatively quick.

I'd leave the comp on overnight, wake up, STILL NOT DONE PATCHING! F*** YOU BLIZZARD MAKE IT WORK I WANNA PLAY! Ugh.

Hahaha ooooh man that brings back memories.  I had that same reaction.  Nice.

Worse by Far:  AoC followed up by WoW

Best by Far: LotrO

Rock on, another nicely trolled article.   You're ruining what little credibility this site has

Dude, no one reads this site of the articles and reviews, it's a forum battleground. This site a giant forum PvP match

When they do bother to do a "review" it's usually a re-review of SWG

Aion had massive ques during the preorder event BEFORE the games official release.  It isn't like NCSoft was unaware of how many preorders were coming.  

Aion had massive queues during the preorder event on the popular servers. Both of the servers I'd picked to create characters on have connected me right to the game without a wait from the head-start on out -- and I don't think being in the Pacific timezone would push me that far out of prime-time for when I was connecting..

Aion should not be on that list. I was in head start and not once ever did I have to wait in a que. They even had messages saying if you had that problem pick another server with a lower population and showed the populations. maybe you should have followed their advice? I feel Aion was probably the smoothest launch ever. Of course it had an advantage to its western launch.
